If I dont use acid what should I use(if anything) to lower my ph and TA? My test kit is the one from Walmarts. I read on there that the total hardness test is the measurement of calcium and magnesium carbonate in the pool. Am I testing for the wrong thing????
The brand of cal hypo is HTH and the bag says Super Shock with chlorine at 60%. Its on sale for 2.50 a bag, the gallon of bleach at 10% is on sale for 2.59 for a gallon. Is it still alright if I use the super shock?
Waterbear: you said the acid might harm my pool---what about the PH Minus? Ingredients state Sodium Bisulfate 92% and inert ingredients 8%.
Sorry I am so dumb about these things, it seems like I think I get things straight in my mind then something else pops up and CONFUSION sets in---maybe its an age thing(HA HA)
Anyway thanks for your help and PLEASE dont give up on me.
